This week in Antonia’s class we have been very busy! The children have been Scientists and making their own soap! They have been continuing with their Inventors and Inventions topic and learning about the invention of soap. Did you know the Babylonians invented soap in 2800 BC? They used to use ash and animal fat to wash with as soap! The children explored some animal fat and ash before they made their own soap for a very special day coming up this weekend…. The children melted soap base, added purple colouring and a lovely lavender smell before they poured their soap mixture into moulds. They let the soap set overnight and when it was hard they popped it out of the moulds and packaged it beautifully in tied cloth. It smells lovely! We hope the special mums, nannas, aunties, and carers love them when they receive them on Sunday.

This week we have also had a special coffee morning in class for the parents of our children. The children made special banana muffins to accompany the tea and coffee the parents received on their visit. They looked at the children’s workbooks, met their friends, chatted with Antonia and the class staff and celebrated their achievements. All the parents were super happy with the progress of their child and how happy they are in school. It was a lovely morning and we all loved meeting families! Thanks so much for coming along.

This week Kian received our Half Term Achievers award for all the fabulous learning he has done this half term. He has been meeting so many outcomes and generally just soaring in his speaking and communication recently. Well done Kian!

Happy Friday! Have a lovely weekend!
